Andrus, originally traded to Texas in 2007 by the Atlanta Braves, has been one of the Rangers' top offensive contributors over the past few seasons. Last year, Andrus hit .286 with 85 runs, 62 RBI and 21 stolen bases, and was selected to the second All-Star game of his career.

The 24-year-old had a strong showing for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic and followed that up with a red-hot spring training, where he hit .404 in 51 plate appearances.

Though he went 0-for-4 in the Rangers' opener against the Houston Astros on Sunday night, Andrus is primed for another All-Star-caliber season in Texas.
